Okay, don't even get me started on that one. I'm an Egyptologist, and I'm going to be a university prof.

[quote name='Terra Firma' post='1224020' date='Mar 31 2007, 11:51 AM']So I'm going to be a lawyer in a couple years. Does that mean I'm an alien? Is there a point when I'm going to get pulled into a dimly-lit room and informed of my alien status and all my alien duties?[/quote]
No, no, no. You've got it all wrong. The aliens helped the humans to gain control of civilization. Lawyers are a prime example. Who can deny that lawyers have way more power and money than they reasonably should?

You're not an alien, you're just a beneficiary of the aliens who helped the lawyers who went before you thousands of years ago.

We need to break free of this form of government. Last time we tried, we elected Bush. That was the first genuinely human thing we'd done in centuries. The aliens were not pleased. That's why the oil prices went up. Once the aliens established a trade embargo on the United States, Saudi Arabia got all excited because they knew that the government would have to start using petroleum instead of plutonium 151 to power the underground bunkers beneath all the major cities.

So, when you get your law degree, are you going to become a civil attorney or an MIB agent to help cover up the alien association with your trade?

Maybe you should reconsider your language.

Citizen X,

I don't have to worry about Aliens. God is a being they live and move and have their being in, and if they are here to mess humanity, as you say, God will pass quick judgement on them.

About the Azrael, he is another person who talks about this kind of non-sense.

'Aliens' are Demons in the flesh, corrupting and destroying humanity. That being said, real believers can cast them into the bottomless pit, sending them to their suffering.

I mean that maybe you should join the resistance. Help us knock the aliens out of the sky.

This is not a game. The movie only began to scratch the surface. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones deserve credit for their attempts, but it was far too comedic to be considered a realistic documentary.

Hey Citizen X,

How long have you been tracking Uribe, Truth Seeker777, Budge, and my actions on this forum.

I'm calling you out right now. You're definitely part of the NWO, and most likely a Nephilim. You're here to confuse people with non-sense, so they won't discuss the reality of what is happening, by getting us to comment on this silly Men in Black Stuff, and Aliens.

What's a nephilim?

I just came here to hang out with people and tell them about how the government is all just a scam of elitists set up to take control of the world with the help of the aliens.

[quote][b]'A republic, if you can keep it' ... or remember what that means[/b]
Star Tribune, September 15, 2005
By Cheri Pierson Yecke

Numerous surveys and polls indicate that students lack knowledge regarding both our history and our form of government.
To address this historical ignorance, U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., inserted a mandate into a bill in 2004 that requires students to be taught about the Constitution on Sept. 17 (or during the preceding week) each year.

While some would question this as imposing a federally mandated curriculum, others welcome it as a long overdue restoration of attention to the Constitution. Over time, semantic sloth and inattention have caused us to use words and concepts too loosely.

For example, although many people refer to this country as a democracy, the word "democracy" appears nowhere in the Constitution.

This is because we are not a democracy, and our founding fathers used strong words to make it clear that we should never become one. Consider the following statements:

Benjamin Rush: "A simple democracy ... is one of the greatest of evils" (1789).

James Madison: "Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths" (1787).

John Adams: "Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide" (1814).
The simple fact is that the United States is a constitutional republic, not a democracy. It is inaccurate to use the two terms interchangeably. The source of authority and treatment of minorities are different for these two forms of government. In a democracy, the majority rules, meaning that there are no protections for minority rights. Whatever the majority wants rules the day. A republic, in contrast, is rule by law, and the law can protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority.

In a democracy, people hold the power to rule directly. Examples of democracy in action in this country include initiative and referendum, where the people vote directly on specific issues. Naturally, it would be impractical to try to administer an entire country if the people had to have a direct vote on every issue. According to Madison: "In a democracy, the people meet and exercise the government in person; in a republic, they assemble and administer it by their representatives and agents" (Federalist 14, 1787).

A republic is where people elect representatives who are responsible to them and who govern according to law. To quote Madison again: "The two great points of difference between a democracy and a republic are: first, the delegation of the government, in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the rest; secondly, the greater number of citizens, and greater sphere of country, over which the latter may be extended" (Federalist 10, 1787).

Previous generations clearly understood the difference between these words. When we say the Pledge of Allegiance, we pledge allegiance to a republic, not a democracy. The patriotic song that we sing is "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," not "The Battle Hymn of the Democracy."

After the Constitutional Convention had finished its work in 1787, a woman asked Ben Franklin what kind of government had been decided upon. He replied: "A republic, if you can keep it."

This week is a good time for our children to learn just what he meant.
